有人應該已經聽過這個故事了，

but, in fact, there's somebody in the audience

但在座各位可能還沒有聽過這個故事，

who's never heard this story -- in front of an audience -- before,

我也從來未曾對聽眾講過這個故事，

so I'm a little more nervous than I normally am telling this story.

所以這讓我比以往在講述這個故事時還要緊張。

I used to be a photographer for many years.

In 1978, I was working for Time magazine,

拍攝出一些美裔亞洲孩童的相片，

children who had been fathered by American GIs

這些孩子的父親都是美國大兵，

all over Southeast Asia, and then abandoned --

他們散佈在東南亞，全都被父親遺棄了，

I had never heard the word Amerasian before.

以前我從未聽過美裔亞洲人這個名詞，

I spent a few days photographing children in different countries,

我在幾個不同國家花了幾天時間為這些孩子照相，

and like a lot of photographers and a lot of journalists,

就像其他的攝影師或記者一樣，

I always hope that when my pictures were published,

我也希望當我的照片被登出來時，

they might actually have an effect on a situation,

而不僅僅只是記錄這件事而已。

我對我所看到的景像感到困惑，

頻率副詞

and I was so unhappy with the article that ran afterwards,

對於後來搭配照片的文章也感到不快，

that I decided I would take six months off.

I decided I would find six children in different countries,

我決定，我要在不同的國家找到6個孩子，

and actually go spend some time with the kids,

and try to tell their story a little bit better

than I thought I had done for Time magazine.

而且要比之前為時代雜誌所做的報導更為深入。

I was looking for children who hadn't been photographed before,

我得找一個以前從來沒有被人報導過的小孩，

that they worked with a lot of Americans who were

donating money to help some of these kids.

And a man told me, who ran the Pearl Buck Foundation in Korea,

其中一個在韓國為遺珠基金會工作的人告訴我，

that there was a young girl, who was 11 years old, being raised by her grandmother.

有一個小女孩那時已經11歲了，由她的外婆扶養長大，

And the grandmother had never let any Westerners ever see her.

她外婆從不曾讓任何西方人接近她，

Every time any Westerners came to the village, she hid the girl.

每次只要有西方人去到這個村落，外婆就把女孩藏起來。

And of course, I was immediately intrigued.

I saw photographs of her, and I thought I wanted to go.

我看到這女孩的照片，也決定要報導這女孩的故事。

And the guy just told me, "There's no way. This grandmother won't even -- you know,

那人只說：「沒辦法，她外婆甚至不讓...

there's no way she's ever going to let you meet this girl that's she's raising."

她外婆不會讓你見她親手帶大的外孫女的。」

I took a translator with me, and went to this village,

我帶了一位翻譯前去那個村落，

found the grandmother, sat down with her.

找到那位外婆，坐下來和她談，

And to my astonishment, she agreed to let me

And I was paying for this myself, so I asked the translator

因為我這趟是由自己出資去的，所以我便問那翻譯，

if it would be OK if I stayed for the week.

問我是否能在那裡待上一個星期。

The family had a small shed on the side of the house,

so I said, "Could I sleep in my sleeping bag in the evenings?"

所以我問：「晚上是否可以讓我睡在睡袋裡？」

And I just told the little girl, whose name was Hyun-Sook Lee,

那女孩的名叫李賢淑，雖然她長得很像美國人，

that if I ever did anything to embarrass her --

she didn't speak a word of English, although she looked very American --

所以我告訴她，如果我做了什麼她不喜歡的事，

she could just put up her hand and say, "Stop,"

可以把手舉起來說「Stop(停止)」，

這樣我就知道不要再幫她拍照了。

So there I was, I couldn't speak a word of Korean,

留下我一個人，連一句韓語也不會講，

and this is the first night I met Hyun-Sook.

Her mother was not raising her, her grandmother was raising her.

但沒有扶養她，而是由外婆扶養。

how in love the two of these people were.

The grandmother was incredibly fond, deeply in love with this little girl.

The way they heat their homes in Korea is to put bricks under the floors,

so the heat actually radiates from underneath the floor.

I had photographed, as I said, a lot of these kids.

我幫這些孩子們拍了很多照片，

Hyun-Sook was in fact the fifth child that I found to photograph.

賢淑是我所拍攝的主題的第5個孩子。

And almost universally, amongst all the kids,

they were really psychologically damaged by

都成為別人捉弄、嘲笑的對象，不被認同，

having been made fun of, ridiculed, picked on and been rejected.

And what struck me immediately in meeting Hyun-Sook

how happy she seemed to be in her own skin.

because I'm going to show you another picture later,

因為待會兒我會給各位看另一張照片，

but you can see how much she looks like her grandmother,

你可以看得出來她長得有多麼像她的外婆，

儘管她有著一張西方人的臉孔。

This is the first morning I stayed with her.

這是我跟她到學校的第一天早上，

This is the morning assembly outside her school.

And I noticed that she was clowning around.

she'd be the first person to raise her hand.

or anything like the other children that I'd photographed.

一點也不像我拍攝的其他小孩。

Again, the first one to go to the blackboard to answer questions.

她也總是第一個跑上黑板寫出答案的小孩。

Getting in trouble for whispering into her best friend's ears

她在課堂上和她最好的朋友咬耳朵，

And one of the other things that I said to her through the translator --

和上次我教她說「停止」那件事一樣，

again, this thing about saying stop -- was to not pay attention to me.

我也趁翻譯還在時請翻譯告訴她不要太在意我的拍攝，

And so, she really just completely ignored me most of the time.

而她也就真的完全忽略我的存在。

I noticed that at recess, she was the girl

who picked the other girls to be on her team.

她負責挑選其他女孩到她的隊上，

It was very obvious, from the very beginning, that she was a leader.

從一開始，她就表現得很明顯，她是領隊。

And that's North Korea up along the hill.

They would actually cover the windows every night, so that light couldn't be seen,

晚上大家都會把窗子遮蔽起來，以防光線外漏，
